Non-vestibular dizziness and static posturography. 1991

Institut de Posturologie, Paris.

In patients complaining of dizziness attributable neither to vestibular disorders nor to any neurological cause, static posturographic recordings can reveal signs consistent with the symptoms. These posturographic abnormalities are a sign, not of impairment of some other input of the fine-postural system, but of faulty integration of the multimodal sensory information that contributes to the control of orthostatic posture.
